About CYANIDE

The second track of CASE STUDY 01, “CYANIDE”, serves as a musical ode to Daniel Caesar’s Jamaican descent: in fact, it’s performed predominately in Patois and it features heavy reggae influences, as well as guest appearances by the Toronto-based artists Kardinal Offishall and River Tiber. Cyanides are a group of chemical compounds which have commonly been used as poisons throughout history. This could serve as an analogy for the toxic relationship Caesar describes in the song. .
